''Barbus'' sp. 'Pangani' is an undescribed but distinct ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. Apparently a close relative of the East African Red-finned Barb (''B. apleurogramma''), it is currently under study for its formal description. Until then, this small African barb is provisionally assigned to the genus ''Barbus'', but probably belongs – like ''"B." apleurogramma'' – in another genus.〔Vreven (2006)〕 It is apparently endemic to Kenya. The only places where it has been found to date are N'joro Springs at the River Lumi in the upper Pangani River drainage basin. It might not occur elsewhere. Due to this limited distribution, it is classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN, but this may change when this fish becomes better known.〔 ==See also== Other undescribed small barbs from Kenya: * ''Barbus'' sp.
